Searching for Trading Setups in an Overextended Market: An Insider’s Perspective
Searching for Trading Setups in an Overextended Market: An Insider’s Perspective
Hello trailblazing traders, Andy here, your trusty guide into the landscape of trading. Today, on this not-so-cold December 20 morning, we’re going to take a deep dive into the market trends and the quest of finding good trading setups in an overextended market.
The Overextended Market Conundrum
First off, I must candidly admit, as a fellow trader, the task of finding good setups is becoming increasingly challenging. With markets becoming overstretched, it feels like walking a tightrope. We are indeed witnessing a slight pullback this morning although it hasn’t brought about a significant change. So, here we are, tirelessly trying to spot those elusive setups.
Building Your Watchlist
Here are a few stocks that have caught my eye:
- Srrk – I quite like how it has exhibited an impressive movement without a significant pullback. The stock transitioned into a near sideways movement. Now, a price level to watch out for is 20, which it struggled to cross. My advice would be to set your price alert. I always prefer having a head start to evaluate and react in time. While I don’t currently own any of this stock, Srrk firmly holds a spot on my watch list.Note: Always remember to keep an eye on your alerts and react swiftly to market movements.
- Path – This has stayed on the watchlist for quite a while. I’m invested in this one and am on the lookout for a break above the 26.50 level. It might prompt me to add to my position, of course, considering the larger market implications.
- Walmart – I think Walmart deserves your attention. While there’s a pullback, it’s not exactly a bottom-fishing scenario. We are still around 13% shy of the all-time highs. Interestingly, I did go in half-size yesterday and conjecture that if we can cross the 156 level, we might be heading towards the 50-period moving average. So, for those eyeing non-extended stocks, Walmart is worth watching.
- Oge – The stock exhibited an impressive move, experienced a pullback, and is now seemingly on a rebound. It’s holding above its moving averages which is a good sign. For action, consider a push above yesterday’s high. Be cautious! If it breaks and closes below the 20 level, it’s my cue to exit. Thus, it’s pretty low risk.
